Leaking..uh...seatbelt?

[ngd298]

The other day I noticed that there was some water behind my rear passenger side headrest, but I just assumed that it had gotten in the car when I opened the back door or hatch. When I came home from work today I opened the driver's side door and the water was still there, dripping out of the seat belt slot, and it was actually running down the side of the car and started soaking the carpet on the trunk floor. I know for a fact that it is leaking because I hadn't opened the car in almost 48 hours. (The leak is worse than the crappy pic suggests) The seals on the rear passenger door and hatch are in perfect shape. Any ideas on what could be causing the water to come in through the safety belt hole? I'll probably end up having to take it to the dealer....2 hours away.

It is probably the wiring harness boot where is passes through the door pillar above the seat belt retractor. You should be able to open the back door and see if the boot is in ok shape.

That's where my 5 was leaking once, and it was the boot grommet thingy.

Are you talking about the boot that is visable when you open the hatch? That one is on the opposite side from my leak. Good call though because if it were to leak it would probably come out of the seatbelt slot. Also Derrick, any idea when you will have intake ducts back in stock?
